Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

These days we all need a little happiness, joy and ease and we all find that in different places. Some head for the woods where the trees will block out much of the clatter of every day life. Others head for the beach where the waves soothe their soul and the salty air cures some sadness. Still others turn to hobbies and activities that keep them busy. If you fall into that last category we have just the place for you! Great food, good drinks and plenty of knitting is what’s in store.
And the story behind it is inspirational. Back in February 2017, owner Lisa Plourd was walking with her dog when they both fell into icy waters. After being rescued and recovering, Plourd realized how important it was to do what makes her happy. And now we have the Knitting Nook.
Of course, there's more to the story. Below we've linked a Press Herald article with the full story of this near-death experience that led Plourd to following her dreams.

Inside the Knitting Nook is equal parts airy and light and cozy and comforting. This is a great place to spend sunny days and those chilly, grey winter afternoons.
After just one visit, the space here will feel comforting and homey. In fact, those who aren't knitters might just want to learn so they have an excuse to spend the day here.
Although that's not the only excuse for being here. Having a well-stocked bar certainly doesn't hurt! They've got a rotating selection of draft beers and hand-selected wines.
And, after all that creativity you'll probably build up a hunger. Good thing they've got made-to-order, locally sourced items on their menu of small bites.
Whatever your reasons for enjoying the Knitting Nook, we know you'll want to make visiting a part of your routine!
The Knitting Nook is open Thursday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. You can learn more about it here or follow them on Facebook. For some more of the background into Lisa’s founding story check out this article. They can be reached on 207-767-5648.
